Take Paradise, put up a parking lot...



I should be working right now.  I have so much to do.  Instead I was listening to the radio and I heard Counting Crows "Big Yellow Taxi" song.  The chorus always starts:


Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise 
And put up a parking lot


Two things struck me as ironic.  We own a building company.  I hate to admit it but I'm one of those people who pave paradise and and build parking lots.  That is depressing.  


The other thing that struck me today was how quickly life is passing.  I hope I'm not overlooking all the wonderful things my life has, while I'm busy putting up parking lots.

  1. Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd
    ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or
    vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same
    topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by
    the way!
